Irritation parameter:
other: corrosion
Time point:
other: all time points
Reversibility:
not reversible
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Application of 0.5 ml of the sample to rabbit skin produced severe irritation (necrosis) immediately upon contact.  Necrosis and scabs were apparent at seven days following the dose. 

Any other information on results incl. tables

Immediate necrosis of the skin was observed following the application. Necrosis and scabs were apparent seven days following the exposure. No scores were given.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a skin irritation study (reliability score 2) comparable to OECD 404, 0.5 ml undiluted dichloro(methyl)silane was corrosive to the skin of one rabbit.
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study (reliability score 2) comparable to OECD 404, 0.5 ml undiluted dichloro(methyl)silane was applied to the skin of a New Zealand white rabbit under an occlusive dressing for four hours. The skin was then observed for seven days for signs of irritation or corrosion. Immediate necrosis of the skin was observed following the application. Necrosis and scabs were apparent seven days following the exposure. It was therefore concluded that dichloro(methyl)silane is corrosive to the skin.
